Will Skal be Robotic;Notes's new Product Placement?

This is what my teammate, Acura Max, talked about since Steins;Gate had a big Dr. Pepper endorsement.

ZombiePie's Dr. Pepper Talk

ZombiePie of Giant Bomb published a blog about the crazy phenomenon that Steins;Gate had caused.

Dr. Pepper is a weird soft drink. Legally it isn't a "cola," and instead is apart of the "pepper" category of soft drinks due to its hard to explain and unique taste. Dr. Pepper like Miracle Whip prides itself on its uniqueness in its marketing and branding. However that unique flavor has come at a cost for its distributors (usually Coca Cola) where it just doesn't sell all that well overseas. In Asian market in particular Dr. Pepper isn't that popular meaning that it is a rare beverage to come by in Southeast Asia and only reasonably available in South Korea and Japan. That said it still struggles amidst a great amount of competition in Japan.

So in comes Steins;Gate with a very visible beverage called "DK Pepper!" Oddly enough DK Pepper is NOT a form of product placement. The name "DK Pepper" was purposefully titled that to avoiding copyright infringement suits. Despite this fans of the Steins;Gate games and now the anime are buying the beverage as seen on the Amazon.jp recommend products tab with the connect between the two rather clear:

Wow, putting fines on a company if they have overweight employees. Now, that's a harsh yet efficient way to fight obesity. America needs to step up. I'm pretty much underweight due to the college stress. I eat less when I'm stressed out. Mom and dad tell me not to be cheap and buy a bigger lunch.

I need to visit Little Tokyo to try some Japanese beverages and try Dr. Pepper. I'm more of sprite guy.

Skal Lemon flavor

Skal Water (Water flavored)

I've noticed something while watching this series. Whenever the characters are sad, there is a great chance that they will be offered a bottle of skal. So I guess they're trying to say that Skal fixes everything.
